Video: French Protesters Surround Pfizer HQ Chanting “Assassins”


Protesters have been energised by Macron admitting he wants to ‘piss off’ the unvaccinated

Video shot this past weekend in Paris France shows thousands of protesters surrounding the headquarters of Pfizer in the nation’s capitol and chanting “assassins!” in protest of vaccine mandates.

Watch:


Protests have been raging in France for a long time, and have been energised by French President Emmanuel Macron admitting last month that part of his “strategy” on tackling COVID is to “piss off” the unvaccinated as much as possible by limiting their freedoms and coercing them into taking shots.

Macron made the comments in an interview with the Le Parisien newspaper, noting “As for the non-vaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And we will continue to do this, to the end. This is the strategy.”

The French President previously announced that those who don’t have a ‘COVID pass’ will be banned from participating in basic life activities such as visiting shopping malls, restaurants and using...

Maddow Edits DeSantis Remarks, Falsely Claims He Never Condemned Nazis


Less than a week after NewsBusters caught her deceptively editing a statement provided to her by Florida Department of Health press secretary Jeremy Redfern, Maddow decided to deceive her viewers one more time before she heads out the door for a month-long hiatus; this time by editing remarks given by Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis.

After discussing the recent Nazi demonstrations in Florida, Maddow quickly turned her ire on DeSantis for the false claim that he never condemned the Nazis. "In addition to this rash of Nazi incidents, in addition to the Nazi incidents themselves, kind of a follow-on scandal that’s now simmering in Florida, involving Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis," Maddow whined in an attempt to create a scandal out of nothing.

Maddow then aired the first portion of DeSantis' response to a reporter's request for the Governor to respond to the Nazi demonstrations:

DESANTIS: So what I’m gonna say is, these people…

 

She then cut him off and left her viewers in suspense by teasing, "I’m just gonna stop that there for a second and say what I’m gonna say is these people you can sort of guess where he's going, right?" Maddow continued ranting about the reporter's question and DeSantis' response to it: 

I mean that is the easiest, most straightforward question an American politician can get, right? Please respond to the Nazis. That’s like a long, slow softball right over the plate. Are you ready? There’s only one right answer to that and you shouldn’t have to memorize it. It’s an easy one. Please respond to the Nazis. That’s what Ron DeSantis was asked. And he starts off -- so what I’m gonna say to these people. What do you think he says next? Here’s where he went with it.  

Maddow then finally aired the Governor's response (or at least part of it):

So what I’m gonna say is, these people these Democrats who are trying to use this as some type of political issue to try to smear me as if I had something to do with it, we’re not playing their game.


Maddow immediately cut back live and in her typically smug condescending tone. "Not gonna play their game of condemning Nazis? Cause that’s a Democrat game that you don’t wanna get dragged into to muddy yourself," she scoffed. "I am not kidding when I tell you that Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis, his answer continued for another two and a half minutes, in which he talked about Joe Biden and inflation and immigration and crime. He even talked about Airbnb."

Maddow then outright lied about what DeSantis said and didn't say claiming "he never actually got around to condemning the Nazis."

Here is what Governor DeSantis actually said, including calling the pathetic road-side gathering of Nazis "jackasses":

 


Once again, Maddow has proven she cannot be trusted. If she tells you what day of the week it is, you should double-check...

BLM leaders are warned they will be held personally liable if they fail to disclose details of $60M in donations by California DoJ - as charities' financial mysteries deepen

  • The California DOJ has threatened to hold the leaders of Black Lives Matter personally liable over the charity's missing financial records
  • The organization has 60 days to disclose records about its $60 million in donations or it could have its tax-exempt status revoked
  • The charity could also face fines for 'each month or partial month for which the report(s) are delinquent'
  • The DOJ said 'directors, trustees, officers and return preparers' could be liable for 'all penalties, interest and other costs incurred to restore exempt status'
  • Charitable assets cannot be used to pay the costs associated with the matter
  • It is unclear with leaders would be held 'personally liable,' especially since all three co-founders are no longer affiliated with the organization
  • The notice comes just days after it was revealed that BLM has not had anyone in charge of its finances since co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigned last May
The leaders of Black Lives Matter could be held personally liable if they fail to disclose financial records about the charity's $60 million in donations within the next 60 days.

In a letter issued to BLM on Monday, the California Department of Justice accused the charity of failing to submit its annual financial reports and alleged it was in delinquent status.

'An organization that is delinquent, suspended or revoked is not in good standing and is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds,' the letter reads.

The DOJ requested a copy of BLM's annual registration renewal fee report and its 2020 IRS tax forms within two months time.

If the organization fails to submit these documents, its charity exemption status will be revoked. It could also face fines for 'each month or partial month for which the report(s) are delinquent.'

The letter, which was obtained by the Washington Examiner, threatened that 'directors, trustees, officers and return preparers' would be 'personally liable' for 'all penalties, interest and other costs incurred to restore exempt status'. The DOJ notes that 'charitable assets cannot be used to pay these avoidable costs'.

The notice comes just days after it was revealed that BLM has not had anyone in charge of its finances since co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigned last May.

It is not clear who is currently in charge of the activist group after all three of its founding members - Cullors, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi - left the organization. 

Black Lives Matters leaders could be held personally liable if they fail to disclose financial records about the charity's $60 million in donations within the next 60 days

Cullors, 38, stepped down as executive director of the Black Lives Matter Global Network (BLMGN) last year amid scrutiny of her $3.2 million property empire.

The scrutiny into BLMGN's also finances comes after it was reported that the group transferred $6.3 million to Cullors spouse, Janaya Khan, and other Canadian activists to purchase a mansion in Toronto in 2001.

In a letter dated Monday, California AG Rob Bonta requested a copy of BLM's annual registration renewal fee report and its 2020 IRS tax forms within two months time

California's warning follows an order from Washington state instructing BLM to 'immediately cease' fundraising in the state due to its 'lack of financial transparency'.

However, the Washington Examiner alleges BLM continues to solicit and receive contributions from Washington state residents despite the order.

The National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative watchdog group, is reportedly preparing to file a complaint against the charity.

'The National Legal and Policy Center will be filing a formal complaint with the Attorneys General of Washington and California to impose the maximum penalties on BLMGNF for their flagrant and repeated violations of the charity disclosure laws in those states and it seems in many others,' attorney Paul Kamenar told the newspaper Tuesday.

The watchdog group's complaint comes as charity auditors have expressed alarm at the management of BLM's $60 million in donations, after it emerged that people announced as leading the organization never took up the role, and no one seemed able to say who was handling the finances.




In a letter issued to BLM Monday, the California Department of Justice also accused the charity of failing to submit its annual financial reports and alleged it was in delinquent status

The most recent tax filing for the charity, from 2019, gives an address in Los Angeles that does not exist, and the two remaining BLM directors identified by...

New Johns Hopkins Study: “Lockdowns Have Had Little To No Public Health Effects” And “Imposed Enormous Economic and Social Costs”


“Lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument”

A new study out of the renowned Johns Hopkins University has concluded that global lockdowns have had a much more detrimental impact on society than they have produced any benefit, with researchers urging that they “are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”

The study was authored by Jonas Herby, special advisor at Center for Political Studies in Copenhagen, Denmark; Lars Jonung, professor emeritus in economics at Lund University, Sweden; and Steve H. Hanke, a Professor of Applied Economics and Founder & Co-Director of The Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise.

The authors wrote that “While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted.”

The focus of the study, according to the authors was to “determine whether there is empirical evidence to support the belief that ‘lockdowns’ reduce COVID-19 mortality.”

The researchers defined lockdowns as “any government mandate that directly restrict peoples’ possibilities, such as policies that limit internal movement, close schools and businesses, and ban international travel.”

The researchers further noted that “To answer our question, we focused on studies that examine the actual impact of lockdowns on COVID-19 mortality rates based on registered cross-sectional mortality data and a counterfactual difference in-difference approach.”

In other words, did lockdowns reduce COVID deaths?

The conclusion is no.

“Lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality. More specifically, stringency index studies find that lockdowns in Europe and the United States only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 0.2% on average,” the study notes.

It adds “shelter-in-placeorders (SIPOs) were also ineffective, only reducing COVID-19 mortality by 2.9% on average,” further noting “Specific non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) studies also find no broad-based evidence of noticeable effects on COVID-19 mortality.”

In other words, lockdowns don’t do anything to save people from COVID.

The authors concluded, “our meta-analysis fails to confirm that lockdowns have had a large, significant effect on mortality rates.”

In a further analysis of “lockdown vs. no lockdown, facemasks, closing non-essential businesses, border closures, school closures, and...

Soros Crony Griswold Is In Hot Water Over Flawed Colorado 2020 Election...


COLORADO SECRETARY OF STATE JENA GRISWOLD SUED OVER DESTRUCTION OF ELECTION RECORDS, FAILURE TO PROPERLY TEST VOTING EQUIPMENT, AND OBSTRUCTION OF INDEPENDENT ELECTION AUDITS

Colorado citizens sue Secretary of State Jena Griswold over election violations. Case requests full forensic audit of Colorado voting systems and 2020 election to ensure free and fair elections for Colorado voters.

[Denver, Colorado, November 19, 2021] – Today an explosive case, Hanks et al v. Griswold was filed in Denver District Court. The most damning facts of the case claim that Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold and her employees destroyed election records from the 2020 election. Griswold and other Colorado election officials are required by state law to preserve those election records for twenty-five months, and by federal law for twenty-two months. The relief sought in this case is a full, independent forensic audit of Colorado voting systems and the 2020 election in Colorado so citizens’ trust in their elections might be restored.

When asked whether the deleted elections records were significant or simply inconsequential extra files on election servers, or electronic voting equipment, Col. (ret.) Shawn Smith USAF systems testing expert stated, “The Federal Election Commission’s 2002 Voting System Standards, which are a mandatory standard for Colorado voting systems, require voting systems to maintain and produce ‘all audit trail information,’ including operating system and hardware. The Department of Justice has already confirmed that digital records ARE election records. The federal and state statutes that require preservation of election records were written for the EXACT purpose of ensuring the availability of records EXACTLY like the those destroyed by the Secretary of State.”

A second claim in the case states that Griswold “failed to employ a federally accredited laboratory to test Colorado voting systems before the 2020 election.” When investigating whether the claim is a mere clerical oversight, the exhibits included in the case show otherwise. Griswold’s selected testing lab’s, Pro V&V’s, accredited status expired in 2017. The next time Pro V&V was officially accredited was 2021. However, in 2019, Griswold issued an official letter [exhibit 1] approving Pro V&V’s test plans, and Griswold cited that testing in her certification of Colorado voting systems used in November 2020. Within the forty-seven months Pro V&V was unaccredited, meaning the lab was not qualified to conduct proper electronic voting equipment testing, Griswold repeatedly used the testing lab and cited its testing reports.

Colorado voters shouldered all the risk when Griswold approved an unaccredited lab to test voting systems. Every single Colorado county used voting equipment during the 2020 election that was not properly tested, and the lapsed lab accreditation likely affected the...

HUGE: Durham Investigation of Obamagate Expands


Special Counsel John Durham is not yet finished with his investigation into the Obamagate scandal, and a new report says his efforts have expanded.

According to recent court filings, Durham has gained access to a significant amount of FBI internal affairs files in his effort to uncover the Obama administration’s maneuvers to promote bogus allegations against Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Team Obama’s disingenuous investigation of the anti-Trump allegations, called Crossfire Hurricane, relied on the discredited Christopher Steele dossier, which was paid for by party activists.

The Washington Times reports that “Three times in his 19-page submission Mr. Durham tells the judge that his team is conducting an ‘active, ongoing criminal investigation’ not limited to the defendant, former Hillary Clinton campaign legal adviser Michael A. Sussmann.”

Durham was appointed as special counsel in December 2020 in order to protect the investigation, which began while he was a U.S. Attorney, from being quashed by the Biden administration. Joe Biden promptly fired all Trump-appointed U.S. attorneys in his first weeks in office.

This is obviously not good news for Joe Biden, who has been implicated in the scandal. During his confirmation hearings, U.S. Attorney Merrick Garland refused to commit to protecting the Durham investigation.

Durham reportedly now has access to over 130,000 pages of new material, with 492,000 pages more expected. It is a lot harder for a president to fire a special counsel than a U.S. attorney. It will be...
